banks look pretty solvent. we are in the last hour of trading. the dow up more than 4%. the s&p five nearly 6% over the last three months. the major industries showing gains and the volatility index down. that means more investor confidence and equities. you may not feel good about the situation, the markets are worth investing better numbers. you have to watch this whole hour to see how we turn out for the month of september. let's get right to the floor show. you take a breath and you look over three months. it looks pretty good. did that get repeated in the fourth quarter? >> people will look at three months and say it is good. i think, you know, the way we are climbing back and keep going up month after month i was

slowly, but surely, i think slowly but surely will continue to do the same thing in the fourth quarter. maybe a boring fourth-quarter, but i think a slight upturn. liz: wait a minute. bobby went corporate. i cannot believe this new look. >> not exactly. liz: there is a ponytail in the back. let's get to the cme. he has really looked very much the same over the past several years. he focuses on what he does best which is the cme trading pits. we had a very nice september. >> it does. when the fed pulled out all the plugs and you get the ecb to pull them out, where are you going?

if you want to fight that money pit, you are on your own. they can throw all the bad news out at you. we will go right into the christmas season on relatively good suiting. it is the last hour of trading today and anything can happen. it will be money moving all over the board. you can have that end of the month quarter. borrowing that, i would say deep rates should be taught. liz: i agree with you. you can fight the money pits all you want. that money is unbelievably huge indeed. let me get to the imax. i would love to focus on crude, but the story is really natural gas. >> it has had quite a rally. especially after october came off the board.

it is just gone straight up. i think it is very short-lived. i think we will get to 340 and sell it. i think we will see some very low flows. liz: wait, why? are you reading the farmer's almanac remapped what i am looking at this how much of the supply is getting filled up and they have very little storage left to handle that supply. we are close to getting filled. they have to sell it and sell it hard at that point. crude oil is a sideways pattern. it was a sideways. you have to break 90 on the downside and break 94 on the outside. i think we will see 86 on the downside. the 11th any of you guys worried about china? the numbers out of that country are a little suspect.

bobby, you first. >> people saying that china may be ready to implode. they have been down to the lowest levels in three years. other people telling me they are going on a tumulus spent. they are starting to build subways, trains, roadways, bridges. we only have stimulus from the fed and not directly from the government. i think it may be tenuous, but they will hold on and keep on going. >> i think they are on vacation. we do not have to worry about it for a week. liz: [laughter] we do not have to worry much want this power is done. take do so much for joining us, gentlemen. have a good weekend. fifty-five minutes until the close. surprisingly, september has been

a decent month for the bulls. presidential election in november. michael church has about a half billion in assets under management. would you be worried or willfully excited about stocks? >> i think your last guest used the word setback. i think that is probably ready appropriate. we came in with analyst expectations around 3%. we have come full circle at this point. we are running negative 3%. there has clearly been some economic data -- disturbing is probably a good word. the durable goods number we have not seen levels since 2007. i think there may be some rocky water here. coming into the year and. as an asset class, i think equities look really attractive. liz: people said that exact negative same things going into

the third quarter and here we are looking pretty darned good. why should i believe you? >> the data on the economic front was not nearly as bad as what we have seen recently. that is not necessarily mean we are running into recession. liz: what happens if the fiscal cliff hits? >> i think in that scenario, you are looking at a recession. liz: where do you go? not treasuries? >> if you are focusing on quality and a longer-term band, equities look attractive. i think you need to be opportunistic. liz: here comes earning season. what do you think will happen? we had the ceo of finish line in the next hour. i bring this up because they did very well. they are selling product. they are striking deals with macy's. they are just one company.

>> the u.s. consumer is probably in better shape than most have realized. companies that are operating in that space are probably looking pretty good. companies that are operating and have more exposure internationally, i would be very cautious at this juncture. that ties into what you are talking about with china. anyone with exposure to asia pacific. liz: what should investors do to prepare for, what you believe, it's tepid earnings season? >> you stick with it. i think you want to have some dry powder here, the economic is concerning. liz: does it concern you it is as low as it is spain, greece is still a problem, we know china is slowing down.

here is the volatility index. pretty much trending towards the lows of the year to date. >> you find that when you get to these levels, eventually it spikes. you do not want to be overly exposed when you see those spikes, long. liz: i never want to be overly exposed. [laughter] mike is coming back. he actually has some really interesting names that you could pick that will take you through a rocky earning season. stay tuned. fifty-one minutes before "the closing bell" rings. love him or hate him. he is one-of-a-kind. legendary boxing promoter and activist, don king with us in studio live to talk about his new role as a movie producer. what has him going hollywood via africa. plus, we asked him about his next big rumble in a communist country and a dictatorship. can't he do it?

>> this is one of the few european companies would be we e interested in at this point, but it is a global company. they have the best brands on the planet. captain morgan, kettle one, all the good stuff, guinness beer. really quite frankly what they're looking for is companies that have a secular growth story. flickr is not very super cool at all. a great business, it is a company can hold on for sometime ansometime and it pays great dis as well. liz: guinness beer over pabst blue ribbon, what are you talking about? >> that is for you to decide. liz: let's get a technology pic from you. you liked qualcomm, you have been on the show several months ago, he recommended qualcomm and when you first mentioned it in february, it has done

extraordinarily well. but then it has come back a little bit, do you still like qualcomm? >> we do. tying into mobile, mobile everything, smartphone, tablet, and products diagnostics. we have seen apple stumble a little bit in the last few weeks with the iphone 5, that impacts qualcomm much less because they're tied to every device. liz: the number one moneymaker. >> in their big day the story is really sort of key growth market for the next several years. if you think about data storage how explosive the growth of that is becoming whether it is facebook, everything o in your smart phone, your tablet, anything within toward the cloud, data is exploding.

exchange. the market lost a little bit of ground and then regained some of it back heading into the close. if you look so what was the number-one thing that dragged us lower, could you say it was a bad chicago pmi number? >> i noticed the dollar going back and forth with the news of what we heard in spain. the dollar got jostled, by the end of the day the dollar is very strong again. david: let's talk about rim. the most important stock of the day. yesterday after hours it was trading up 18%, 5% bump is not bad at all but why did it come off of the 18% high? >> you have to think people are taking profits. rim has been under so much pressure. this week it is doing great. more subscribers, library 10, and more apps. liz: speaking of apps, apple issuing an apology over the

mapping service that didn't quite work out. that's like having a little bit of a rough week. >> tim cook saying i am sorry, the maps are not up to our company standards, we are working on them trying to improve it. david: and we will be talking about facebook. let's take a look at the bells ringing on wall street. liz: let's take a look and see how the stock finished up, dow jones industrials did not finish up, they finished down about 51 points, but remember we were down 100 points plus earlier today but came back, retraces a little bit. the s&p losing six, but all three major indices, david, moving higher for the month. david: gold, everybody is looking at the move, dramatic the past couple of weeks. futures lower today but actually ended the quarter up 11%, this is the best quarter for gold in more than two years.
